Application filed June 20, 1928. Serial No. 646,515.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OHN N. Scmnnme, a

' citizen of the United States, residing at The primary object of the invention is to provide a can of this nature with novel means whereby advertising of different nature can be interchangeably attached to the can, the construction being such that the advertising card will be held firmly in place but at the same time can be readily removed to chan e the advertising matter.

A further ob ect of the invention is to i provide a can of this character wherein the means for holding the advertising matter can not be actuated without having accessto the interior of the can.

With these and other objects in view, as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists in the novel features of construction, combinations of-elements and arrangements of parts and hereinafter to be fully described and. pointed out in the an ended claims.

n the accompanying drawin Figure 1 is a front view of 5m device,

Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof,

Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 2-3 of Figure 1,

F'gure 4 is a sectional view on line 44 of Figure 1, and

Figure 5 is a detail view throu h the can showing the advertising card ho der in its ino erative position.

eferring'to the drawing 1 indicates the can which is preferably rectangular in cross section and has supporting legs 2 fixed to its bottom 3, there being a hood 4removably associated with its upper end, said hood having a He 5 for preventing the egress of material rom the can but readily permitting trash to be placed therein.

The rear wall of the can is'provided with l a pair of brackets 6 which are adapted to engage the anchor post 7 so as to hold the can 1n its :proper osition.

To the front wal 8 and the side walls 9 of the can are secured angle iron frames 10, and to the lower bars 11 of each frame are suitably secured brackets 12 which are adapted to engage the lower bars 13 of the movable frames 14, said frames being rectangular in shape, as are the frames 10. The frames 14 have their upper bars 15 provided with'latches 16 which are adapted to pass through suitable openings 1.7 formed in the respective walls 8 and 9, and are provided with slots 18 for the reception of the wedges 19, said wedges serving, when engaged in the slots 18 to prevent the latches 16 from being accidentally disengaged with their respective slots, thereby holding the frames 14 tightly engaged with the respective sides of the can whereby the advertising cards 20 will be held firmly in place upon the respective sides of the can.

It will be obvious that upon removing the wedges 19 that the frames 14 can be swung on the lower bars 11 until they assume the position as snown in dotted lines in Figure 3, whereupon the advertising cards can be interchanged when desired.

What is claimed is:

1. A rubbish can including front and side walls, frames fixed to said walls, supplemental frames detachably connected with the fixed frames and having latches carried thereby, said latches being extended through the respective walls, and means located interiorly of the can for engaging the latches to hold the supplemental frames confined within the fixed frames, as and for the purpose set forth.
